In the year 1 BBY, Airen Cracken, an Alliance Intelligence general, compiled a comprehensive dossier. This dossier concerned a potential Imperial superweapon that was supposedly under construction, along with the main individuals participating in Operation Fracture. Created for Chief of State Mon Mothma, the dossier contained Intelligence reports detailing the operation's personnel, potential adversaries, analyses of the rumored Imperial weapon's nature, and character sketches of significant Imperial figures and military divisions.
